Work in the UK — Work Visas Made Simple with Smart Migrate UK

Want to work in the UK but not sure where to start? Smart Migrate UK, led by Aditi Bhardwaj—a well-known, experienced UK visa consultant—helps you pick the visa that fits your job, get your papers ready, and apply on time. We handle Skilled Worker, Health & Care, Global Talent, Scale-up, and Temporary Worker routes and sponsor-licence matters for employers.

Who we help and how we work

We support individuals (new offers, career moves, post-study choices) and UK employers (overseas hiring, compliance). You’ll get visa options that actually suit you, along with checklists and a clear timeline for applying.

Which work routes are common right now?

• Skilled Worker — job offer from a licensed sponsor
• Health & Care Worker — for NHS and eligible health providers
• Global Talent — for leaders or rising talent in approved fields
• Scale-up — for fast-growing UK companies with sponsor status
• Temporary Worker — creative, charity, or government-authorised exchange
• Graduate Route — for recent UK graduates starting work

We explain sponsorship, salary/going-rate rules, and evidence in plain English.

Visitor visas don’t allow work

A Standard Visitor visa does not let you take a job or be self-employed in the UK (except for very narrow Permitted Paid Engagements). If your goal is to work in the UK, use a proper work visa route that matches your job and employer.

Documents and proof you’ll usually need

• Passport valid for the full trip
• Employer details (and sponsor licence if needed)
• Job offer or contract and role description
• Salary at or above the route’s threshold/going rate
• Qualifications, registrations, or endorsements (where relevant)
• Funds and accommodation (if requested)

We’ll create a document list made for your case so nothing is missed.

Costs and timing when you work in the UK

Expect application fees, the Immigration Health Surcharge (IHS) for many routes, and sometimes a Certificate of Sponsorship fee (usually paid by employers). We’ll map costs and key dates so your start date is realistic.

Applying from India or switching inside the UK

Whether you’re filing from India or applying in-country, we explain each step, visa appointment, and document format so your file meets UKVI expectations.

For UK employers: sponsor licence and compliance

If you plan to hire from overseas, you may need a sponsor licence. We help set up HR processes, correctly assign Certificates of Sponsorship, and complete the required reporting to stay compliant.

2. Build the evidence using a tight checklist
